LOYOLA GYM REMODELED
STUDENT SPACE AT RISK
KIMBERLY KAUER
News Editor
Some of the Physical Education Department offices, which are currently
located in Memorial Gym, are scheduled
to be moved into Loyola Gym in the
Koret Health and Recreation Center in
the near future.
Loyola Gym is considered academic
space since physical eduction classes are
held there, so the moving of the offices to
the gym's stage is considered justified.
The gym, due to the construction changes
in The Commons, is the last multi-purpose center on campus which is able to
host large student activities. The Commons holds such events as the annual
Luau, Barrio and the Amigos Festival.
Despite numerous attempts to contact
faculty and administrators involved with
the decision to relocate, the Foghorn was
not able to find out exactly why the offices were being moved out of Memorial
Gym.
According to Bill Clark, Director of
Siudcnt Leadership Programs and Outreach Services, the first choice for thc
location of the offices was lhe lobby
outside of Loyola Gym, but due to reloca
tion problems, the plans were not able to
go through. The best alternative was thc
stage in Loyala.
"The decision [to move the offices onto
the stage from Memorial Gym] was made
from powers above me," said Chuck
White, Director of Koret Health and
Recreation Center and Recreational
Sports. "I lost lhe battle." According to
White, the decision came from the Vice
President's office.
Carmen Joidan-Cox, Vice President of
Studeni Developement, was unavailable
for comment
Student activities will now be limited
due to the lack of space. ASUSF President, Peter Saari was outraged by the
decision to move. "That space is the last
programming space for large student
events," said Saari. "We cannot sit idle,
student space is being taken away and wc
cannot let thai happen."
The offices in no way will cut down on
the gym's athletic space. By having the
offices on the stage, Physical Education
Instructors will be able to ovcriook thc
classes going on.
PAPAL DECISION ON FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AT CATHOLIC COLLEGES
DELIA GALLAGHER
News Staff
The first document governing Catholic
institutions of higher learning around the
world was issued last Tuesday, September 25, by Pope John Raul IL The Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities recognizes the need for academic
freedom at universities, while at the same
time exacts compliance to Church teaching authority.
Archbishop Pio Laghi, subprefect of
the Congregation for Catholic Education, released the document to reporters
in Vatican City. 'The Constitution insists
on the Catholic identity of the university
bul emphasizes that the adjective 'Catholic' does not diminish the academic-scientific character and the specific aims of
the university."
The guidelines set by the consutution,
effective at the beginning of the 1991
academic year, will affect all 935 Catholic institutions of higher learning throughout the world. Called general norms, the
guidelines recognize University autonomy by not approving of direct intervention of the Vatican or local bishops in
University affairs.
The general norms demand the adherence, by all University faculty and especially Catholic theologians, to church
doctrine.
It directs local bishops to "watch over
the preservation and strengthening of the
Catholic character" of the university. The
specific adaptation of these requirements '
is left up to a national conference of
bishops and University officials.
The papal document requires, where
local conditions allow, thai the majority
of teachers at Catholic universities be
Catholic. This regulation was questioned
by several American educators concerned
that such a standard would not be feasible
at American universities. Rev. Joseph A.
O'Hare, President of Fordham University participated in a major consultation
with Vatican officials in April 1989. "Thc
recruitment of personnel is critical to the
character of an institution," he said, "but
trying to assure that through a statistical
standard, at least in the United States, is
not effective."
Other American university presidents
supported Fr. O'Hare, emphasizing that
often non-Catholic faculty members do
more to ensure the university's Catholic
character than do the Catholic members.
Archbishop Laghi said that in certain
regions, such as Sophia University in
Tokyo, a Catholic majority might not be
possible due to lhe low population of
Catholics in that area However, he stated,
it should still be a goal for Catholic universities.
The norms call for a proper training of
faculty and students in the teachings and
exercises of Catholicism. It advocates thc
implementation of ethical standards in
professional practice. "Freedom in research and teaching is recognized according to the principles and methods of
each individual discipline, so long as the
rights of the individual and of the community are preserved within the confines
of the truth and the common good," it
says.
Most American educators were pleased
with the document, which has taken ten
years lo publish. Rev. Edward Malloy,
President of University of Notre Dame
stated,"The effort bore fruit. It is a reminder that when the church develops a
good process of consultation, the final
result is far superior."
USF's executive assistant to lhe president. Rev. Phillip Callaghan, spoke of the
new document and its effect on Thc Institutional Values on Freedom of Expression. "It's a much more positive document than the version we saw in 1985.
There's nothing in it thai would force us
to change our new policy. It leaves a lot of
the implementation to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops."
